Why types are not exported?!

[sharifzadesina]

It is possible to import types like this:

import type { Transaction as TronTransaction } from "tronweb/lib/esm/types/Transaction.js";
import type { TransferContract, TriggerSmartContract } from "tronweb/lib/esm/types/Contract.js";
import type { Block as TronBlock } from "tronweb/lib/esm/types/APIResponse.js";

But when you try to import ContractType, because it is not a type, we get an error:

import { ContractType } from "tronweb/lib/esm/types/Contract.js";

console.log(ContractType.AccountCreateContract);

The code above fails with error:

node:internal/process/esm_loader:40
      internalBinding('errors').triggerUncaughtException(
                                ^

Because ContractType is an enum type and if you import it without type key word, it will generate the import statement in the output file. But we don't add this subpath in our package.json as we did't know that anyone will use this object. We are consider to add this subpath in our next version. For now, you can copy the code in the file and use it.

@start940315 Of course it is not a type, so it throws an error. please on the next update export types also.
